Chapter 25: Tigers

But when the words came to his mouth, he said: "The Hu family's character is good, don't worry, she won't do such a thing." Besides, now that everyone is fleeing the famine together, so many things have happened on the road, and they should still be in one place. ”

He opened his mouth wide and pouted, lowered his head and began to face.

Shen Xinyue saw that the old lady came back with a large bundle of hay, and couldn't help but say, "Milk, I have already left hay, and I can use it when I spread it in a while." ”

"This is not ordinary grass, I found it when I passed by, this thing is strong and soft, and it is best to use this straw mat. After a while, it will be cold, and you sisters will not be able to sleep on the floor all the time. ”

After Mrs. Shen put down the hay, she began to rub the straw rope.

Shen Yingyue and the twins also came over to help.

Shen Xinyue didn't know much about these and couldn't help, so she only found a place to sit down not far away.

Take out a dagger and a piece of wood and start making bows and arrows.

Although there are a lot of well-made bows and crossbows in her space, it will definitely arouse suspicion when you take them out at this moment, so it is better to try to make them yourself.

"Eldest sister, what do you see I found?" Shen Jiyue and Wang Liang ran over, and spread their hands in front of her.

I saw two red fruits lying in her palms.

"Where did you find it?"

Shen Jiyue squatted, raised her head and said crisply: "What Wang Liang discovered, he is amazing, he dares to climb such a tall tree, Zhao Yuanbao is greedy, I just didn't give it to him." ”

As he spoke, he leaned his hand forward again, urging, "Sister, eat quickly." ”

Shen Xinyue glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "Eldest sister doesn't eat, you can eat." ”

Shen Jiyue insisted on picking up one and sending it to her mouth: "Sister, eat it, the red one must be very sweet." ”

Shen Xinyue couldn't help it, opened her mouth and took a small bite, and when she saw that she finally laughed happily, she sent the two of them to play beside her.

Dinner was gruel with wild vegetables, and everyone who was completely relaxed still ate it with relish.

At night, the people who were gradually sleeping were suddenly awakened by a tiger roar.

"What was that sound just now?" Someone whispered in fear.

"It seems to be a big worm, I heard it once before, and that's the sound."

As soon as they heard that it was a big worm, everyone's hearts were lifted.

Although there were people on duty all night, everyone didn't really fall asleep because they were afraid.

Halfway up the hill where everyone was resting, a group of more than two dozen people, carrying sharpened axes and machetes, quietly searched for something in the forest.

"Boss, that big insect is very powerful, and a mouth can tear us apart, otherwise forget it." A tall, thin man whispered.

"Fart, what's it, do we have any other way now? Look at how hungry these brothers are? If you don't catch the tiger for food, do you expect to rob and rob the grain? ”

The stocky-looking man next to him scratched his head: "But boss, don't we just make a living by robbing?" ”

Yang Chuan directly slapped him in the head: "Don't open any pot and mention which pot, you don't see any virtue under the mountain, if you can grab the food, I will take the risk to fight the tiger?" ”

As he spoke, his stomach began to rumble uncontrollably.

"Are they all dead? Can the tiger crash over on its own? Why don't you hurry up and find Lao Tzu? ”

As his words fell, several people immediately separated to look around.

Who knows that every time I feel that the tiger seems to be in front of me, I don't see a trace, and I toss all night, but in vain.

There was no way, so he had to take a group of his subordinates back to Heishui Village first.

And the villagers of Shenjia Village also did not rest well all night because of the tiger.

On the second day, everyone stared at the panda's eyes, and they were a little out of spirits when they hurried.

Until noon, stop to rest, and some people hurry to take advantage of this time to make up for sleep.

"Uncle, there is still a long way to go out of the mountain, and it is not a way to be so worried, everyone is not resting well, and it will definitely affect the process of rushing."

Shen Dacheng was also worried about this matter, and subconsciously asked, "Girl, what can you do?" ”

"It's better to organize some people to scout the neighborhood, and if they come across it, they will kill the tiger, so that everyone doesn't have to be afraid."

"No, it's too dangerous." Shen Dacheng refused without thinking about it.

Shen Xinyue: "The wild boar almost hurt everyone when it came over last time, but this time it's a tiger, where can everyone run then?" ”

Another reason why she wants to kill the tiger is that the tiger is full of treasures, and tiger skin and tiger bones can be sold for a lot of money.

With money, everyone will be able to improve their food, and when the family eats better, no one else will say anything.

"It's not reluctant, if there is someone who wants to participate, the tiger can share the money equally when the time comes, and it doesn't matter if you don't participate, after all, safety is the most important."

Mrs. Shen resolutely objected: "What are you talking about, kid?" That's a tiger, what are we going to do if you're in any danger? ”

"Milk, we are fleeing, do we have to move our old capital when we run out of food with such a little food? So how will you continue to settle down? If you don't have a house or land, you have to save some money to come out. ”

"But that also has to be spent, as long as we save a little, this money can always be saved. Besides, the milk can still move, and I can still deliver babies to others by hand......"

"Milk, money is not saved by mouth, besides, I still have a bow and arrow in my hand, even if I can't kill the tiger, I still have the ability to escape."

She didn't dare to say it too absolutely, otherwise a girl who was abused by her aunt's family some time ago and didn't dare to resist would be able to kill a tiger with just one turn, which is too incredible.

"I'm the eldest in the family, and I have to do it for you and my sisters."

Shen March: "Eldest sister, this family is not yours alone, I'll go with you!" ”

"One or two of you, I can't control it." Mrs. Shen sighed and turned her head helplessly to the side.

"Count me in!" Ignoring Li Guilan's obstruction, Shen Guian raised his hand to sign up.

"I, I'll go too." As soon as Hu Dongsheng spoke, he was slapped on the back of the head.

Hu Chunsheng stepped forward: "What's the fun of the older children, if you want to go, I'll go." ”

The family doesn't have much money at all, and now that there are disasters and famines everywhere, food prices are skyrocketing, and it is necessary to save some money.

Five or six more people then signed up.

In addition to the knives in their hands, they also had bows and arrows that Shen Xinyue taught them to make.

Although the bow and arrow with space are a little less lethal than the arrow, there is no problem with long-range attacks.

After greeting everyone, a group of eight or nine people walked in the direction of the tiger's roar.

"Don't go too far, once you find the tiger, you will immediately raise a warning."

Shen Xinyue took Shen March, and the little girl held the bow and arrow given by the eldest sister tightly in her hand.

Since Shen Xinyue discovered her amazing arm strength, she has deliberately trained her to shoot, and now the hit rate is still very high.

"Roarβ€”"

Suddenly, there was a tiger roar in front of him, Shen Gui'an ran a few steps over, picked up the bushes in front of him, and saw a big tiger more than two meters long.
